I just want to share Zaheer-ud-din Babar the first Mughal emperor’s dafenation/unddrstanding of democracy. In his book Tuzke Babari while explaining the janjua tribe’s style of government he writes “ Iss qoom ka andazee hakoomat jamhoree hai. Majjall nahainn kooei hukamraan mun mani karrwhy kar sake”. I am of the view that democracy is not a form of government but a state of mind, therefore, there is a possibility that a popularly elected person can be of dictatorial mind and a dictator can of a democratic thinking. This does not mean that I am in favour of dictatorship but would like to have an elected government with the democratic belief. In short I would like to see a government “ joo mun mani nann karee”.
